THE ROAD AHEAD

Walking on this road alone

Just me myself and I

No one to hold my hand

Or comfort me when I cry

My tired legs are aching

Not sure I can carry on

I need to find a purpose

But I feel like I don't belong

Everyone seems so happy

But yet I am dying inside

No one to share my thoughts

And no one to be my guide

This journey feels so lonely

Only myself to ask advice

But I don't have the answers

So I always have to think twice

Memories still haunt me

Some I can just never forget

I am filled with deep emotions

And I live with such regret

The mistakes that I made

And the things I didn't say

Are still a constant reminder

And I live with it every day

Tomorrow wont be easy

Yesterday was painful too

But with each passing day

I realise just what I have to do

I have to learn to live again

And I have to hold back fear

I have to learn how to be alone

But still let people get near

Every day I will grow stronger

And I wont give into defeat

I may have been knocked down

But I'll get back on my feet

I'll leave the regrets behind me

And treat them as lessons instead

I wont bother looking back

I will only keep looking ahead
